@wolfe63 saidNice ... same two-colour idea as the UK 2 pound.
The Italian 500 Lira coin from the 1980's is rather attractive.
@suzianne saidIt probably is worth at least 50p (just dive having a little dig at EU)
Wait, it's a 50p coin, right?
Why isn't it worth at least 50p?
However it is no longer legal tender so you have to find a collector.
@wolfgang59 saidDodecagon, you mean. π
I think the UK's 2 pound is pretty cool.
But my fave was the old pre-decimal UK thrupenny bit.
A gold (in colour) dodecahedron with portcullis on reverse, worth 1/80 of a pound.
The only NZ coins I see are the dollars I carry in the car for parking meters.
I am a US coin collector and my opinion of current US coins is very low . I believe the Buffalo nickel (1913-1938) was the greatest coin design ever . A portrait of Chief Irontail on one side and an American bison on the reverse . In mint state they are a work of art , in my opinion . The bison made a brief return in 2005 on the nickel and is a popular collector item .
